a few months ago i read an article about the terrifying 3’s. how it’s the terrible 2’s, then the terrifying 3’s, then the frightful 4’s. then i just read on my friend’s blog about 3’s being so hard.
um…..really? my daughter just turned 3 last week, and now i’m all scared and worried!
but then again, she did tell me today, “mom, i hate you.” and i’ve never said those words in front of her ever, i promise! where did she get that? seriously? it can’t be from the t.v shows she watches(einstein and dora), or in the home! and she doesn’t really have friends(sorry, mom’s fault), so it can’t be from that! oh last week she also told me, “you’re a bad mom.” ouch.
she also used to say, “UGH. you’re so frickin’ irritating.” because of me. yes, i’m so ashamed to admit it and it wasn’t directed towards my children but nevertheless she heard me say it. i quickly worked on that and don’t say it anymore, which in turn, adalie no longer says it either.
man, why can’t they only mimic the good stuff that we do?
being a mother reminds me of EVERY.SINGLE.FAULT i have. and i have so so many. sigh.
but at the same time, being a mother motivates me to work on my faults so i’ll raise my children to be good.
oh the life of a mother. it’s so challenging isn’t it?
